Drinking Water Protected Areas
Waters used for the abstraction of drinking water were designated in March 2005 under the WFD itself. These are areas identified as supplying either a daily average of more than 10m3 of water for drinking, or supplying more than 50 people. The River Dee supplies the whole of Aberdeen city (over 220000 people) and over half of Aberdeenshire with domestic water.
